Hi Joost,

I too have this problem few weeks ago.  What I did was:

1. Run xf86config
2. When it asks me for "Do you want to use XKB?" say yes.
3. Choose a preconfigured keymaps.  I selected then: "1  Standard 101-key,
   US encoding"

With this one, no more fiddling with xmodmap or anything, Backspace & the
Delete key simply works.
